Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

DAVID POTTER, chairman of the Psion personal organiser group, netted about pounds 18.5m yesterday when he sold four million shares in the company. The sale reduces the stake of Mr Potter and his family from 24 per cent to 19.6 per cent.

Psion said Mr Potter was reducing his holding in the light of the company's search for a chief executive to work alongside him. He intends to remain Psion's largest shareholder and to retain the balance of his holding for the foreseeable future, the company said. The shares fell from 502.5p to 471p.
